World Equestrian Games dressage freestyle

The World Equestrian Games dressage freestyle will take place on 16 September 2018 and concludes the World Equestrian Games dressage competitions in Tryon, North Carolina.

The top 15 riders from the grand prix special, including any tied for 15th place, will contest the freestyle, or kür, where they will start with a clean sheet. A maximum of three riders from any one nation are allowed to compete in the kür, with the results of this deciding the second and final set of individual medals.

Riders perform certain set movements within a floorplan of their choosing, set to music of their choosing. The compulsory movements, each of which are marked out of 10, include half-pass in trot, passage and canter, extended trot and canter, a minimum of five two-time changes, a minimum of nine one-time changes and a minimum of 10 steps of piaffe. The canter pirouettes, piaffe and passage have a double coefficient applied, which means the score for these movements is counted twice.
